I had the privilege to meet all three #humblebrag

as for 135-5.... that is just wrong. what a crazy percentage.

You can not just list Wood and Burkhart...you have to list their assistant coach too! Shawn Rogers for Burkhart and Southall for Wood...EVERYONE I have talked to said Southall was the coach and Wood was PR guy

You think any one would say that sixman football is a "different animal" and that the RS championships don't count with the regular football numbers?

Not trying to hijack a thread. Just wondering if that flawed logic applies here too.

yes of course they would. first argument is there are fewer teams in the divisions of six-man than there ever were in the 11-man divisions, even now.... about half as many

I am not going to get into it... it is a great accomplishment

EVERYONE obviously does not include me . . . with more than a few grey hairs (at least those that haven't fallen out yet) on ya, and having personal knowledge of Gordon Wood's career at Rule, Roscoe, Seminole, Winters, Stamford, Victoria and Brownwood, I can confirm that Morris Southall was one helluva coach, strong on the fundamentals of the game; however, even though I don't know who you visited with, I can say with authority that a statement referring to Coach Wood as a "PR guy" is as inaccurate as the Mayan Apocalypse!

Coach Wood named his version of the single-wing offense after his coach from Hardin Simmons (my father went to Abilene Christian at the same time and they competed against each other) and like my father, would end up being a superintendent, principal, teacher, coach, bus driver, etc. to justify his paycheck in small towns. They were good friends of our family.

Here's where that statement does not hold water: Coach Wood hired Morris Southall at Seminole and when Wood left Seminole, Southall became head coach. Coach Wood did not reunite with Coach Southall until he became head coach at Victoria . . . so that "PR Guy" won 2 State Championships with a career record of 80 wins and 6 losses at Stamford without "a real football coach".

While I respect the research you have done on the history of the game, I have to draw the line on absolute statements that are not factual.

that argument would be harder to make. you have a far less chance to reload in sixman. I bet if you check there are a lot of freshman starters on the RS teams.
